VPLL Mission Statement
Welcome to the official site of Villa Park Little League. Villa Park Little League is an Orange County, CA based youth baseball league, affiliated with California District 30. Villa Park Little League offers league play for girls and boys between the ages of 4 – 14. Promoting and developing sportsmanship, character, teamwork, and the physical well-being of youths in a friendly, safe, and competitive environment are the underpinning goals of our league.
Overview
Villa Park Little League endorses the National Little League philosophy, and has made only slight modifications to some of the playing rules in an attempt to enhance the playing experience for our children. The following is an excerpt from the National Little League organization:
"Little League Baseball is a program of service to youth. It is geared to provide an outlet of healthful activity and training under good leadership in the atmosphere of wholesome community participation. The movement is dedicated to helping children become good and decent citizens. It strives to inspire them with a goal and to enrich their lives toward the day when they must take their places in the world. It establishes for them rudiments of teamwork and fair play."
